blue florals

initially when i thought about blue floral i thought

woah... overpowering

but

upon a google search i came across lots of very very pretty bouquets which fit very well with the vintage, olde worlde style that is so so popular for weddings nowadays

bride on a tallship?

this weekend brings the tall ships race to waterford & it got me thinking about inventive ways that brides travel to their weddings...

i wasn't sure if there were many brides that travelled on boats on their wedding day & the answer was a definite yes...

i loved this shot from china

so now im wondering if anyone getting hitched in waterford this weekend will go & get some shots taken with the wonderful tallships ???

having a pastel wedding

for the past few months we've had an astounding number of enquiries for all things pastel...

dusky pink, duck egg blue, sage green, tiffany blue & pale pale yellows are huge at the moment & we've just added two more colours to our rainbow-like warehouse...



{our wonderful tiffany blue satin coming out to play with our ivory lace overlay in the showroom}

{& here is it's friend dusky pink satin}

they look amazing & are very in-keeping with the vintage style & muted tones of todays weddings

tiffany blue

Nothing says elegance, luxury or style like the classic little aqua jewellery box tied with a ribbon! Tiffany & Co have been setting the standard in jewellery since 1837.

Over the last few years Tiffany's signature aqua blue has become hugely popular for weddings

{plus its one of my favourite colours!}

here are a few shots of Tiffany blue weddings

{ enjoy }

for those of you who thought that Tiffany blue could only be seen with white i challenge you. it looks wonderful with a rusty burnt orange, pinks & also bright red
